Delayed Period Since Birth Delivery, Stressed, Sickness, Vomiting, Dizziness, Tiredness, Lightheaded. Positive PT. How Is It Possible?

hello my name is Claire Heitzler but i have an interesting question about my pregnancy test
well let me start when after i gave birth to my child 2012. she was born on nov 23 2012, After i gave birth to her i kind of stopped having periods, I've only had one then never had them again and still haven't had one as of today. me and my fiance hardly ever have sex even after the birth. its been about maybe 6 months sense we haven't had sex, we only have had about 3 time or so and i was never pregnant. Then we had sex not to long ago maybe 3 days ago but i do not remember his semen going in me, before he could he pulled it out.
we were living together about a month ago then i had to mom back to my parents and that's when i started getting sick and I've been very stressed out later and a bunch of emotions going on so its been that sense i moved back and till now. after me and him had sex just yesterday i started throwing up around 6.30ish, then today i was around 9 when i was about to leave from dropping off my infant. ever sense the birth i haven't had an apatite and had trouble eating, tired, lightheaded, dizziness. i think it was from all the stress i was putting my self in. well i took a pregnancy test today around 12 and it was positive. it just stumped me becs i wasn't sure how that was possible

Hello,

Thanks for posting on HCM,

The think is if you are having secondary amenorrhea and you have been having unprotected sex, then the chances of pregnancy being the cause is elevated. You will still need to go to the hospital in order to confirm the pregnancy. Your symptoms were definitely those of pregnancy.
In rare situations you may have false positive pregnancy tests associated to a hormonal imbalance which could cause you to present similar pregnancy tests (but that is rare).
You can never be so sure when you are having unprotected sex without any birth control methods. So, i suggest you meet up with a gynobs so can receive proper counseling regarding your problem.

Hope this helps
